Time to grab your 3-D glasses! Just got a note from

Nathanial Burton-Bradford,

one of the image editing wizards we have featured here at Universe Today. His latest handiwork is creating some 3-D analglyphs of images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and particularly of the Apollo landing sites. As Nathanial wrote me, "In a word, WOW!" Nathanial's images make the lunar landers really stand out and stand up in the images, and other features such as tracks and experiments left by the Apollo astronauts become more visible as well. See more images below, and click on the images for larger versions, or see

Nathanial's flickr page

for lots more!
